The low point of my whole brief experience at BYU was the Book of Mormon class I took with Reed Benson (son of Ezra Taft). This was 1996, well after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and Bro. Benson (good John Birch society member that he was) spent most of the class periods railing against the Satanic conspiracy that was Communism. Eventually I just stopped going - it was at best irrelevant, and at worst troublingly paranoid.
As for Knight Templar complex, my experience has been that its not especially more common among Mormons in those positions than anybody else who volunteers for that line of work. Which is to say, relatively common.
